Boston Meetup, Friday 5th October

September 25, 2007 6:44 PM

Boston meetup! Myself and wimpdork happen (independently!) to be visiting the area at the same time, so how about a meetup on Friday 5th October?

The ever-helpful Eideteker has suggested doing something on Moody Street in Waltham (maybe the Watch City Brewery), or going to the Super 88 in Allston for Asian food followed by pool at Big City. Apparently these have gone down well in previous gatherings! And either of those sound good to this out-of-towner. What do you think?

It's like my dream come true. Dammit, why don't I live in new england any more?

Super 88 and pool ended up being a lot of fun, but I am up for anything. Either way, you know I'll be there.

Make it so!

Watch City last time was very fun. I couldn't make the XKCD meetup but I'll do my damnedest to make this one.

Chris, I worry about your sense of direction...

Wimpdork, it would be lovely to see you again, but on 10/5 my butt is at Johnny D's for some Jonnie C. where I have made some very firm plans to LOL.

In my timezone!

I'm in! I'd prefer Waltham but I could go for Super 88.

I need to check with my Better Half. October strikes me as a busy month for some reason.

Since the guests of honor will most likely be around my place in Waltham that night anyway, I am going to go ahead and call it for Watch City again. 8pm sound good to everyone?

Sounds good to me! I'll be there.

Fabulous!

Drat! Another meetup I'm missing. It's my 30th birthday party that night, so I'll be there in (aging) spirit.

I love that place, and I miss you guys. But I'm in the same place as robocop: if there's nothing important I've left off my calendar, I'll be there.

Damnit! I am leaving Waltham at 6:30 pm on October 5.

Seriously, sequential? Like moving away FOREVER! leaving? Because you should totally come over to my place for a pre-meetup or something. I'm sure I could sucker wimpdorkery into dragging her beau along a bit earlier to hang at my pad since we are BFF and such. And chris is going to be there anyway. =D

Hmmmm. I'd say more but I am starting to earn a reputation as a terrible tease.
